Marutomishokudo is a restaurant located on the second floor of a building a 3-minute walk from the east exit of Ikebukuro Station and is known for serving the most delicious fried horse mackerel (aji fry) in Ikebukuro. The seafood dishes, including sashimi, fried dishes, and Japanese seafood cuisine, are all fresh and delicious. The prices are also reasonable, and it is popular among businessmen during weekdays. Although it is an izakaya-style restaurant, they also offer limited set meals during lunchtime.
All set meals are recommended, but this time I will introduce the set meal that I always have for lunch.
※Marutomishokudo is on the 2nd floor. Please be careful not to mistake it for the ramen shop on the 1st floor.
